Bluff kingfish and Toti shad
The Kingfisher reports that the Bluff has seen some fair catches of blacktip kingfish with a few other species thrown in.
Some nice size karanteen and bigger blacktail have also been providing action for light tackle enthusiasts on the Bluff beaches.
Toti seems to be one the few spots that has consistently produced shad recently. Quite a few have been undersize - so be aware of size limits - 30cm from tip of the nose to the end of the tail.
Winkelspruit has seen a good run of shad, but it was short-lived with the fish not biting much over the past few days.
Surfers need to get a move on with entries closing today for the Scottburgh Powerplay Surf Pro, which is one of the richest Surfing South Africa Pro Surf Tour events this year.

It is going to be another beautiful day with clear skies, a maximum of 22 degrees and westerly winds blowing. There has been a lot of swell on the coast so it may be worth checking for a surf between work or school today.
